1) Prepare a plastic bucket. Pull out
the cap, salt water hose and filter
from the salt water tank, and put
them into the bucket.
2) Use the measuring cup (accessory)
to add one level cup (approx.
700ml) of sodium chloride (NaCl)
or potassium chloride (KCl) into
the salt water tank.

3) Add water into the salt water tank
up to the 5 L line.
4) Check that the mini cap is closed,
and put the cap on the salt water
tank. Shake it until sodium chloride
or potassium chloride completely
dissolves in the water.
5) Open the mini cap and put it in the
recess, and push in the salt water
hose until the stopper hits the cap.
3. PURGING SALT WATER PUMP
This unit uses a pump to supply salt water. If the salt water pump
contains air, electrolyzed water cannot be dispensed properly. When
the unit is installed for the first time, when the add salt water lamp on
the operation panel comes on, or if the error lamp on the operation
panel comes on and the display on the control panel shows error code
“E53”, purge air from the salt water pump as follows:
1) Check that there is enough salt water in the salt water tank.
2) Open the door and check that the power switch (earth leakage
circuit breaker) is off. Turn it off if it is on.
3) Turn the power switch back on.

CAUTION
Use sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl) of not
less than 99% of purity. Use of any other salt may cause failure,
clogged pipes or health problems.

4) Press the display select button
on the control panel and hold it
down.
5) The pump starts running and
pumping up the salt water to
purge the salt water hose. It
takes about 20 seconds to purge
a 1.5 m long hose. The sound of
the pump changes from high to
low when the air is removed.
6) Release the display select button when the air is purged.
* Always locate the salt water tank below the end of the water outlets,
or the salt water tank will leak salt water by siphonage and the unit
may fail to operate properly.
4. START UP
1) Plug in the unit.
2) Open the water supply line shut-off valve.
3) Check for proper operation of the water softener. Refer to the
instruction manual provided for operating instructions. See “8.
[f] WATER HARDNESS (WEEKLY)” for how to check for water
softening.
4) Check that the salt water tank is properly set up.
5) Turn on the power switch (earth leakage circuit breaker). A
mechanical sound is heard three times immediately after the power
switch is turned on. This is not a sign of failure.
6) Press the dispense button on the operation panel.
7) The operation lamp comes on.
8) The ready lamp starts flashing, and non-electrolyzed water is
dispensed at first.
9) When the unit starts to dispense electrolyzed water of the intended
quality, the ready lamp stays on continuously.
10) Check that the add salt water lamp is off. If it is on, follow “3.
PURGING SALT WATER PUMP” to supply salt water to the
electrolytic cell until the lamp goes off.
11) To stop dispensing water, press the dispense button on the
operation panel again. The ready lamp goes off. The unit goes
through the flush cycle before water stops.
* While the ready lamp is flashing, the quality of electrolyzed water
has not reached the intended level. If the available chlorine
concentration and pH value are less than the specified values,
sanitizing water may not provide a sufficient bactericidal effect.
* Before using electrolyzed water, check that the ready lamp stays on.
5. SHUT DOWN
1) For daily shutdown, press the dispense button on the operation
panel. The ready lamp flashes for about 3 seconds and the unit
stops dispensing electrolyzed water. To restart the unit, press the
dispense button on the operation panel.
2) For long storage, see “9. PREPARING ELECTROLYZER FOR
LONG STORAGE”.
6. WATER FAILURE
In case of water failure, follow the instructions below:
1) Shut down the unit according to “5. SHUT DOWN”.
2) Wait until water supply is resumed.
3) Check that the water supply valve is closed.
4) Open the drain valve.
5) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. Drain water until no rusty
water comes out.
6) Close the drain valve.
7) Start up the unit according to “4. START UP”.
